I am not asking for a hand out, just a hand. My son has been out of work (new job, yea) for quite a while and it has been a real drain on me in more ways than one. I have always been super self sufficient and never asked anyone for anything so this is pretty difficult for me. I have tried to help out the people here and on the LAP forum that needed a leg up and never once thought I would be on the other end. I have enough wampidy sunrise to make up ten or twelve medium boxes with a minimum of 25 pounds per box that I hope to sell. Pricing, this is the other hard part. I was going to ask $2.00 a pound but it is close to the holidays and money can be tight all around. So I am asking $30.00 plus postage for each box. My supply is down but I am sure I can put at least one piece or one slab of Wyoming nephrite in each box. I have given a large amount of it away but I think I can also add some smalls of other rock to finish filling the box if there is room. Guarantee. Some of this rock is fractured so if someone gets a large stone with too many fractures I will replace it with another and pay the postage. You keep the fractured stone. I will make sure that I do not sell down to the point where I can not replace a stone. The outside pile. I have about four boxes full inside. If you want photos of the stones in your box posted for your approval that is possible. Wyoming nephrite I have some fossil coral and other things that I will post photos of later to see if anyone is interested. Please PM me if you are interested in helping and let me know what size saw you have. Some of the pieces are pretty big. Thank you for checking this out. Jim

PM sent, Jim. My lady has a thing about pink-colored rocks, so some of this might find its way into her Christmas stocking....
Thanks, Jack

Hi Jim, I can't cut pieces as large as your shoe but if you would be able to make up a custom box of small cuttables (2-4" circumference ideally) I would be interested. Beautiful stuff!

Thank you so much Tommy. I can make a box like that if I include a bunch of other types of rock that I have. The people that I have sent mixed boxes to have been really happy with them.
Let me know and I will get a box filled up. Jim

I'm in too!!! ... Jim send me your paypal if you have any boxes left over... having been on the receiving end of your kindness, and knowing how this material works, not to mention I really like the Jade you get there, this is the least I can do!!
Set me up a box however you want and I'm good... big or small pieces, it's all good to me !!!

I'll take a box. I have just a small 6" saw, so fill a box with whatever you think will work for me. Mix it up is fine. Pm me the cost and paypal address.
Thanks

Now that's why the RTH is so great members pulling together to help out ! You started this tsunami off Roy and the manly eye sweat has been going on just about every time I check back here. I will get the boxes out as fast as I can. I am out of medium sized boxes right now so I have to hit the PO for more and I apologize for underestimating the generosity of the people on this forum. I have enough rock for five + boxes left depending on how many people want a mix with some other local rocks thrown in. Thank you all so much. Jim Ya'll are awesome!!

Jim - What goes around comes around. While I am new to the forum, it is obvious you have made a lot of good go round. Looking forward to my box of Wyoming goodness when you have time to get it out, no rush. Cheers Andy.

Do you have any boxes left?and what would the shipping to austin tx be? I have quite a bunch of boxes to fill (rocks thawing and drying right now) so I am not sure where I stand. I can let you know in the next couple of days. The shipping is 12.35 for a medium flat rate box. Jim
